Inland (real name Ed Davenport) is a British producer, DJ and founder of Counterchange Recordings based in Berlin. Known for his detailed and explorative techno, he’s released numerous EPs on his home label Counterchange (set up in 2013), and has appeared on Ostgut Ton, Figure, Infrastructure and Nonplus. In 2018 he released his debut Inland LP on Ostgut Ton sub-label A-TON, an Audio-Visual collaboration with conceptual artist Julian Charrière.
Enamoured with UK dance music culture in the mid 90s, the burning, illicit energy of early rave mixtapes left a huge impression. Mystical bootlegs recorded at mass gatherings in fields or late night Radio One transmissions captured on cassette – their eternal spirit was absorbed and cherished. Now more than 2 decades later, Davenport Channels that fascination and energy into everything he works on, from his own studio productions, to live shows and DJ sets, and the creative curation of Counterchange.

Davenport’s first wave of productions emerged in 2006, characterised by a string of technoid minimal house records on German labels Gumption and Liebe*Detail. That sound morphed into a moody, broken-beat hybrid that peaked with key releases such as ‘More Red Lights’ on UK label NRK in 2011 and his ‘Counterchange’ LP as Ed Davenport the following year. His modernist, minimal-music indebted releases on Maeve (‘Silver Walks’ EP, 2015, ‘Mendocino’, 2018) highlighted his unique skill for storytelling within sound.

Working closely alongside US artist Function between 2014 and 2017, the pair released the comeback record for Function’s classic Infrastucture label, with their critically acclaimed ‘Odeon / Rhyl’ EP and went on to compile the heavyweight ‘Facticity’ compilation, also teaming up with the timeless ‘Colwyn Bay’ in 2016.

Simultaneously, since 2013, Davenport’s own Counterchange label has notched up over 13 releases – the idiosyncratic ‘Solstice’ EP (2013) a blueprint for the Inland sound. Primarily a home for his own productions, the label has also put out music from contemporaries like Boddika, BNJMN, Cassegrain & Tin Man, Magna Pia, Distant Echoes and Pharaoh & Yogg.

In February 2020 Inland released the Stream State compilation, his biggest project to date, combining exclusive tracks from over 20 artists in a vibrant 4 x 12’’ package and DJ mix on Counterchange. Featuring long-time colleagues and personal heroes like Efdemin, DJ Skull, Joel Mull, Peter Van Hoesen, Mark Broom and many more, Ed also selected tracks from Berlin based artists Jamaica Suk, Johanna Knutsson and Fred Mann, and welcomed back BNJMN, P. Lopez and Distant Echoes to the label. The compilation was launched with release parties at FOLD London in collaboration with Codeword, Nitsa Barcelona, Vurt Seoul, Contact Tokyo and more, before the 2020 pandemic put an extensive tour to a halt.

A collaboration with Swiss artist Julian Charrière, the debut Inland LP ‘An Invitation To Disappear’ (A-TON LP 05, 2018) translates Davenport’s soundtrack for Charrière’s gallery-based video installation into eight tracks of rhythmically intricate electronics and spectral techno. Tracking through a palm oil plantation toward a totemic soundsystem on full blast, the LP and Film were debuted live to a full house at Berghain in September 2018.

"A mix of tracks we think have a connection to our album 'On The Edge' because they share its spacious and restrained atmosphere. Some had a strong influence on us. Burials voice processing was a reference while working on 'So Nigh'. So was the ghost voice in Shriekback's 'Evaporation' for our track 'When Does Ghosting End'. The Wailers Band's 'Higher Field Marshall Dub' highlights the influence of reggae on some of the album tracks. We love the distorted sound and masterful minimalism of this track." - @mmm-berlin

Bleep Mix #215 - MMM

DJ @Boris is kind of a charismatic, multifunctional weapon in the Berlin club life. His musical roots reach back to the mid 80s, when he lived in New York for four years where he absorbed the unique spirit of the seminal club Paradise Garage, weekend after weekend. 

From the Club’s mentor Larry Levan, Boris learned to believe in his musical intuition as well as a broad musical spectrum, which nowadays ranges from Disco, Hi-NRG, Post-Punk and (Kraut-) Rock to House and Neotrance... All of which Boris loves to throw into one set. 
Many years later, Boris became a resident at Panorama Bar’s first incarnation in Berlin, where he was able to build a loyal following by playing long sets lasting until noon. After the old OstGut / Panorama Bar closed, Boris played in almost every club in Berlin. But when the follow up club @Berghain opened its doors in 2004, he quickly focused on playing out here again. 

Since 2005 he has got another musical platform, as he is taking care of the label Careless Records as an A&R. Both as a DJ and as an A&R, he is not exactly keen on refining a certain genre, but rather to push music with a certain twist.

2024-8-8 podcast

We're back for the #57th episode of our Schimmer podcast series with Sev Dah.

Berlin, Detroit, Birmingham and, of course, Sarajevo.
Bosnian-built and -bred Sev Dah may be a Swedish expat, but the Balkan blackness clings strongly to the bleak percussions and rigidly uneasy synthetics that unwillingly fuse into his strongly individual take on techno. Authentically purveying the pulsations of the nakedly throbbing and ugly world, far away from Starbucks and H&M. 


Signed to respected labels such as Random Island, Mote-Evolver and Kaiser's KSR, he quickly gnawed his way into the scene’s core of DJs and producers. Sev is even managing new projects on his own label Proletarijat since 2016. Like a rabid mongrel, since 1998 he has been chewing and belching new bastard beats that are aching to scream out. Consequently there’s a steaming and steady stream of vinyl releases coming.


With influences ranging from Stigmata and Mills to Master Reese and Petar Dundov, Sev Dah is a versatile but headstrong DJ that can gently ease a thumb in at midnight or fervently thrust it down the hatch at peak time.
